Op deze dag in 1288 vindt de Slag bij Woeringen plaats, waarbij Jan I van Brabant het leger van Reinoud I van Gelre verslaat. Aan Brabantse zijde vinden slechts 40 ridders de dood, aan Gelderse zijde 1100. Hierdoor wordt het hertogdom Limburg bij Brabant gevoegd

Na de 'babyboom'-periode ontstond grote woningnood. Door centrale regie over de Volkshuisvesting werd er veel en betaalbaar gebouwd. Daardoor konden babyboomers al gauw en betaalbaar wonen. Koop en huur.

In de laatste kwart eeuw van massa-immigratie nam onze bevolking even snel toe als na de 'babyboom'.

Helaas verzaakten de regeringen de regie over de Volkshuisvesting te nemen, en lieten deze 'over aan de markt'. Gevolg: ingestorte nieuwbouw, continu vertragen/traineren, torenhoge koop- en huurprijzen, ernstige woningnood, burgers raken tegen elkaar opgezet om deze primaire levensbehoefte, en babyboomers 'cashen' grenzeloos door overwaarde.

Nee, dank u. Been there, done that. De 'markt' dient per definitie het eigenbelang, niet het publieke belang.

@TonyHellings Je bent een kwaadaardige klootzak, die geen flauw benul heeft en dat ook niet wil krijgen van de situatie in Israël, Gaza en de West Bank. Van het journalistieke werk weet je ook totaal niets, je wordt gedreven door racistische haat, net als gore Geert en malafide Markuszower.

In February, Rep. Ro Khanna stood on the House floor and read six names the DOJ had redacted from the Epstein files.

"There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason."

He read them into the record. Nobody has been charged.

Two years of lying about bombing hospitals in Gaza – supposedly to target "Hamas control and command centres" underneath – has really paid off.

Now Israel bombs Lebanon's hospitals and doesn't even need to pretend there's a military rationale.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.

And it gets even better...

According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.

The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.

The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.

Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.

The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.

But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.

We stand with Albania!

Kushner out! Ivanka out!

Do you stand with the Albanian people?

Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!

AOC: When people see a ballroom and, at the same time, see their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly unaffordable housing.

And so I think people are pissed off about it, and they should be. It’s wrong. This is a complete theft of our money. This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom, or to renovate the Kennedy Center, or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for—paying for things that actually benefit you: better roads, health care, and more affordable groceries.

One document in the Epstein files is titled child sex trafficking co-conspirators. The DOJ released it fully redacted. In February, Rep. Thomas Massie read one of the blacked-out names into the record himself. Les Wexner.
